Why we love England

Few locations inspire quite like England. From legendary landmarks and bustling cities, to rolling emerald hills and dramatic coasts – this is an unmissable nation of contrasts. But beyond its beautiful landscapes and rich heritage, there’s bucketloads of dynamism, creativity and culture to discover.

For a blockbuster break, look no further than England’s screen stars. Fall in love with Bridget Jones’ London, be charmed by Bridgerton’s Bath, or step back in time in Peaky Blinders’ Birmingham. Whether it’s family-friendly fun at The Paddington Bear Experience, or broomsticks and butterbeer at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – this really is where the movie magic happens.

England

England is renowned for its iconic landmarks, as well as historic castles, world-leading museums, diverse festivals and top-notch sport.

Go fossils hunting along the Jurassic Coast, climb England’s highest peaks in the Lake District, or marvel at the iconic Stonehenge and White Cliffs of Dover.

Immerse yourself in royal history at Buckingham Palace and Tower of London, or head to Windsor, home of the world's oldest and largest inhabited castle, before taking in the sights along the Great West Way®.

Take in world-class museums and galleries in London, visit Shakespeare’s birthplace in Stratford upon Avon, Britain’s oldest university in Oxford, or UNESCO City of Music, Liverpool, home of The Beatles.

Wander through cobbled streets in York, tuck into Newcastle’s street food scene and dive into world-class football in Manchester. Explore street art trails in Bristol, or head to the UNESCO World Heritage City of Bath.

Head to one of many diverse festivals and celebrations, from Glastonbury and Isle of Wight Festival, to Brighton Pride and Birmingham Mela.

England’s hidden gem

England’s most northern county, Northumberland has its own character and traditions, and visitors who make the trip will be rewarded with unique experiences. Use Newcastle as your transport hub to explore the region, easily reached with a three-hour train ride from London.  

If off-the-beaten-track travel is your thing, you can’t get further than Northumberland’s islands. The Farne Islands are a wildlife haven, home to grey seals, puffins and more. Get a close encounter on a Serenity Farne Island Boat Tour. Or, take a guided tour of the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, the mysterious tidal island that becomes inaccessible at high tide. Explore its historic sites and surprising number of pubs and cafes.  

Did you know that Northumberland is a film star? You might recognise the magnificent Alnwick Castle from Harry Potter, and you can even take a broomstick flying lesson in the very spot Harry did. It’s packed with history and treasure from the muggle world, too.
